About this house rental
Casa Torre: wooden beams, red bricks, typical Tuscan style in the heart of the medieval Certaldo hilltop town, Tuscany.
Casa Torre is an elegant and spacious apartment recently restored, which is located in the historical and ancient castle Palazzo Stiozzi Ridolfi, dated 1200 !
Casa Torre faces right the main square and the central street of Certaldo Alto: Santissima Annunziata square and Boccaccio’s Street.
The façade of Palazzo Stiozzi Ridolfi and its main medieval tower is exactly Casa Torre apartment!
Casa Torre has 3 double bedrooms, 2 windowed bathrooms with showers, a spacious kitchen and living room, a working area with desk, a laundry area with washmachine, the private tower/terrace, parking and courtyard (common shared areas).
Casa Torre is an historical castle recently renovated keeping the main architectural features: one of the three bedrooms is located in the tower and it is reachable by a vertical stair just like the way to go to the tower/terrace itself; the twinbedded room is an attic room.
Its main feature is for sure the medieval tower/terrace with a breathtaking view over the whole ancient town, the surrounding country and the famous towers of San Gimignano!

It was a pleasure staying in Casa Torre. Pleasant little town with amazing people. We were able to visit all the museums and dine close by. Each day we enjoyed walking and sightseeing. Would definitely stay in Casa Torre again.

As we were planning our 15-day European adventure with our teens/young adults, we decided to look for a location outside of Florence rather than staying in Florence. When we found it, this unit had only one review so we were hesitant to book a stay…but we are so very glad we took the risk! It was an absolutely perfect 2-night stay for our family!
The train from Florence to Certaldo was hot and crowded but once we took the funicular up to Certaldo Alto, we found ourselves away from the crowds of tourists. In fact, the castle community felt like a ghost town when we arrived…actually more like our own personal castle!
The unit itself was ideal for our family of 5…the only drawback was the second shower was too short for any of us to use (we are a tall family!). We were able to open all the windows and turn on fans for comfortable breezes during our hot June stay. The owners also provided a full book of information about the community with ideas for day trips and outings. For our day trips, we ended up hiring a driver to take us half of us to San Gimignano (which we loved!) and half took a train to Pisa.
We enjoyed a lovely patio dinner at L’Antica Fonte the first night in Certaldo Alto. For the second night, we ordered pizza from Da Messer Boccaccio and took it up to our veranda for the most beautiful sunset dinner. It was the loveliest and most memorable dinner view we enjoyed during our whole 2-week trip.
Would 100% recommend!
